66925-527LF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are commonly used for many electrical applications, and the 66925-527LF Connector is one of the most popular as it is very versatile and reliable. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 66925-527LF Connector.

Application Field

The 66925-527LF Connector is designed primarily for power, signal, interconnection, and communication uses. It is widely utilized in the military, automotive, telecommunications, industrial automation, consumer electronics, medical device, power, signal, as well as broadcast equipment. Its use has been extended from the traditional through-hole application to the more recent surface-mounted, which have contributed to its versatility.

The 66925-527LF Connector is available in a variety of configurations to suit many applications, such as single row, dual row, or micro headers, as well as straight, right angle, or mid-mount receptacles. This provides the user with a connector package to satisfy their individual connector needs.

Working Principle

The basic working principle of the 66925-527LF Connector has remained the same over time. The male and female housing components have pins and contacts wired into the male and female housings. The contacts are then inserted into the male and female housing shells and locked in place via the appropriate solder joint. The current is then routed from the source to the terminal points on the shell, creating the electrical connection.

The 66925-527LF uses a combination of insulation displacement connectors (IDCs) and solder joints for its electrical connections. IDC’s are particularly well suited for this application due to their ability to form strong, reliable connections with minimal force and without the need for soldering. This is particularly useful in applications with limited space as IDCs provide reliable connections in confined spaces.

The 66925-527LF Connector also utilizes mechanical features to increase the strength of the connection and ensure correct mating. A pair of raised bosses on either side of the housing form a tight fit when two housings are mated. This helps provide maximum electrical contact and prevents any loosening of the contact over time. In addition, linear guides on either side of the interface ensure the connections remain locked in place. This helps to limit movement and keep the contacts from shifting or becoming loose.

The 66925-527LF Connector is extremely versatile and reliable due to its design and application field. Its ability to accommodate both through-hole and surface-mounted designs make it ideal for a variety of applications. The combination of IDC’s and solder joints make it extremely rugged and reliable, while its mechanical features provide tight, secure connections. As a result, the 66925-527LF Connector is one of the most popular and reliable rectangular connectors available.
